Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
On my trip to New Zealand in July this year, my son and I stayed near Christchurch and while there I stopped by at the lovely Whisky Galore store. They had so many I would have liked to have grabbed however this bottle caught my eye. I grabbed it, had some of it while I was there but couldn’t bring it home to Australia with me, so just brought back a sample. I’d tried and enjoyed the Batch 6 at a Whisky Club night last year…how does the Batch 11 compare?

The Kentucky Spirit is an 8 year aged, apparently, Bourbon from my favourite Bourbon Distiller…Wild Turkey. It was this Whisky ironically, that kicked off my recent journey into Whiskies. I review the Spirit and also touch on what makes a Bourbon, a Bourbon.

Having tried the 10 year last episode, I dive in and check out the 16 year to see if it’s worth the extra money. Additionally I look at all of the Scotch regions, why they exist and whether or not you should pay any attention to Scotch Region definitions at all.

The Tomintoul Distillery on the Glenlivet Estate tout themselves as being The Gentle Dram. I test this statement and also cover some of the history behind The Glenlivet Estate and its various distilleries over the decades.

The relatively new Glendalough Irish Distillery has produced a series of interesting Whiskies, including their Pot Still release. Will the surprising sweetness win me over and make me smile? Let’s dive in and check it out.

I try a lightly Peated Japanese Whisky that was the first Japanese Whisky I’d tried at the time. Despite my misgivings about Peated Whisky, I give it a good go and the score might just surprise you.
